Do You Have Low Semen Levels?
Posted by PRS on August 3rd, 2012
It's a widely known fact that the height of male virility begins its downward trend once men reach a certain stage of life, usually beginning at around the age of 35. Generally the change in hormone levels that accompanies aging causes fluctuations in the volume of semen that is produced during ejaculation. While it is completely normal for the amount of semen to diminish with age, it can make men question just how low their semen levels have become and if there's any way to naturally increase them.

Posted by PRS on October 11th, 2010
If you've ever paid attention to those commercials for erectile dysfunction drugs then you may have heard a warning that said something like "in the event of an erection lasting more than four hours, please seek immediate medical attention." While such a predicament may sound a bit amusing and strange at first (imagine having a boner that won't go down for hours!), the truth is that this type of condition can be quite serious. Here we'll take a look at what the medical condition known as "priapism" really is and understand why having an erection for such an extended period of time can in fact be very dangerous.

Varicocele and Male Fertility
Posted by PRS on September 24th, 2010
Most people are familiar with something called varicose or "spider" veins, an unsightly condition characterized by enlarged and swollen veins usually seen on the legs and feet. What you may not know is that a similar condition exists that specifically targets the veins located within a mans scrotum. Known as a varicocele, this is an irregular dilation of the testicular veins resulting in abnormal enlargement. While often painless and correctable through surgery, there is some evidence that varicocele can have a direct negative impact on male fertility.

Posted by PRS on November 7th, 2009
This months issue of Men's Health magazine includes a rather interesting article concerning Peyronie's disease, a medical condition that may affect up to 25 million men in the United States alone. The author of the article having been diagnosed with the affliction commonly described as "bent penis" tells of his experience in dealing with various treatments. One particular method however, namely that of using a penile traction device to naturally correct penis curvature, is conspicuously absent from recommended treatments.

Botox Treatment for Short Penis?
Posted by PRS on August 14th, 2009
Ever since Botox received FDA approval for cosmetic use in 2002, the number of people using this treatment has risen steadily. Although today it is most commonly associated with restoring a youthful appearance, Botox injections are in fact used to treat several medical conditions. A study recently published in the Journal of Sexual Medicine now examines another potential use for Botox -- as a treatment for relieving penile retraction, a condition sometimes referred to as "short penis."
